There it is... finaly... 

Because the code given in the FTDI web page is not convenient, not working and haven't been developed by real LABview programmer, I decided to create a library for the I2C.

a version for SPI will come soon.

This library is free to use. If FTDI want's it in ther site, I do not allow you to publish it since you didn't help any of your customer with LABview.

but of course feel free to publish this link.

I am using the MPSSE I2C drivers over a USB FT232H device, communicating with BMP280.  When I read the BMP280 device ID, it is supposed to return 0x58 but the DeviceRead vi returns 0xFF.  I have used a logic analyser and can confirm that the device is actually sending 0x58, but the output from the read vi is 0xFF.  Has anyone had this same problem, or can anyone suggest what might be the issue?

Thanks

It's intended to be a user.lib reuse library (although the attached zip includes a small demo project with a test VI).  There's really only about two genuine VIs in the library, both are malleable to adapt to the poly/init integer sizes.  One is the CRC computation VIM and the other is a lookup table builder; you have the option of pay-as-you-go (eight shifts/tests and conditional XORs, aka "brute force"), or you can take the computational hit upfront once and build a lookup table.

Outputs are tested correct for the lengthy list of "well-known" CRCs (included in the library as some handy typedef'd cluster constants), when tested against some reputable online calculators.

What is NOT done: I haven't made any serious attempts at benchmarking performance, brute force vs. lookup table.

I'd be happy to have the LAVA community beat this up and suggest improvements in: speed, code elegance, style, whatever.

This project is a 100% G based Rubiks Cube solver that I coded quite a while ago (2007) and then forgot about. I must have saved it it more recently in LV2011.

The algorithm is based on the 7-step method, which is totally sub-optimal for solving a cube, but relatively simple to understand.

Please note this code is not representative of my current coding ability, I just upload it in case anybody is interested.

If I get time I would like to do a 3D representation of the cube and allow the manipulations to be done in this view.

Run instructions:

1. set the show boolean to True
   
2. click randomise!
   
3. pick a start colour
   
4. click solve!
   

The buttons on the left hand side can be used to do manual manipulations of the cube.

Calling the WriteDevice and Read Device separately in LabVIEW is generating considerable delay ( ~1ms windows scheduler + labview ).

is there a combined DLL for Write-Read.

currently I am able to reach only about 400 samples per second with my ADC. I want to be able to use upto 10ksps.

Is there any other way to reduce this delay ? 

Thanks for the help.

This package consist of a series of tools in native LabVIEW 2010 code.

For encryption/decription the AES (Rijndael) routine is used with key sizes of 128, 192 and 256 bytes.

The encryption supports the following block modes:

• EBC
  
• CBC
  
• CFB128
  
• OFB
  

For signing of string/packages it performs the SHA-1 and SHA-2 hashing, for MD5 hashing the OpenG functionality is used.

The hash functions return a binary string and a hex-formatted string with the hash.

The following hashes are supported:

• MD5 (via OpenG library)
  
• SHA1
  
• SHA-2 224 bit
  
• SHA-2 256 bit
  
• SHA-2 384 bit
  
• SHA-2 512 bit
  

For Hashed key authentication the HMAC functionality is provided based on the supported hash functions.

The used functions are tested against NIST public test vectors.

The use of these functions is not: secure the code does not try to protect it's memory nor the used keys.

Allows new functions to be compiled during runtime by using libtcc. http://bellard.org/tcc/

Examples

Adding 2 numbers and using return to get the result

Using system to call cmd

Inline x86 assembly

Passing in information using argc and argv

Using pointers to pass a string in and an SHA512 hash out

Uses libtcc unmodified, so for security reasons you can download the dll from the author's website or compile your own from source. The dll is included if you wish to use it.

Some very basic examples that show off only a tiny subset of the features this compiler offers. Unless you are very careful, compiling functions during runtime can lead to unstable code. (Test before you deploy) All examples should run without issue but modification can and will lead to crashing. (Save often)

Also no selection for LV version above 2012. I rather not clutter my home machine with several versions. If needed I can spin up a VM and save for prior versions. The code is rather basic so should work going pretty far back. I think I originally did this in 2012 or 2011.

This is an experimental demo to investigate VIMs (vi macros). It was a bit of fun to see if VIMs could be used to encapsulate events in LabVIEW which was a bugbear of mine for quite some time. You can see the entire thread here. VIMs are a NI experimental technology similar to Xnodes but less mature.

The purpose of this release is to clarify the previously unstated licence since other forum topics are building on the original demo so they need a permissive licence (MIT). This release serves as an unambiguous statement to that effect. There are a few differences from the original which I have decided to call version 0.1 but they are minor.

Note:

This may or may not work for you out of the box. If it doesn't then please do not post. The purpose is to clarify the licence for others to build upon; not to provide a working example. The VIM technology is itself  experimental and unsupported by NI so most issues you will encounter will be due to this and It is unlikely there will be another version posted here.

This snippet demonstrates how to handle the runtime contextmenu of various controls in one single dynamic event case. Notice how you only need to bundle the different references of all the controls into one "Register for Event" input. Discrimination between the different controls happens inside the dynamic event handling case as is shown here with singling out one control for which the conxext menu remains standard while for all other controls just a singular menu item is generated.

The VI acquires all front panel control (and indicator) references and one by one passes them into a variant using its attributes. This way of storing the references makes them faster to be found within an application than by storing them in a cluster along with their name and using "search 1D array". The idea of this use case came from a nugget by NI's Darren.

VI Organizer is a LabVIEW toolkit that helps LabVIEW developers access and control their working VI more conveniently. While having basic functions like opening or closing VIs in memory, VI Organizer can also help the user do more advanced tasks like reopening VIs according a snapshot the user stored recently. VI Organizer provides an easy to use UI and small footprint on the screen.

Here is a summary of main functions in VI Organizer:

1. List all VIs in an application instance

2. Quickly search VI by name

3. Open/Close selected VIs' FP/BD

4. Run/Pause/Stop selected VIs

5. Run Modal over other modal windows (So the user is able to abort other running modal VIs)

6. Quickly locate top level VIs running in the background including clones.

7. Store the locations of a group of VIs and reopen them at the saved locations.

8. Configurable filtering engine for sorting the VIs.

Suggestions and bug reports are appreciated. We would like to provide a better programming environment for all LabVIEW developers.

Hi Everyone,

We have recently developed a toolkit that allows you to use Quick Drop plugins in Right Click Framework or LabVIEW Speak platforms.

Named RCF LVS Conversion Toolkit, this toolkit provides an easy solution for JKI Right Click Framework (RCF) and LabVIEW Speak (LVS) lovers who want to use a quick drop plugin in RCF or LVS.  Now, you wont be disappointed when you see a useful plugin not written in your favorite platform's plugin format.

Procedures are simple:

•  Open the toolkit by going to Tools Menu >> Synovus >> RCF LVS Conversion Toolkit...
•  Select the target Quick Drop plugin VI
•  Type the command name in Right Click Framework or LabVIEW Speak
•  Click OK

Now you can use the Quick Drop plugin in Right Click Framework or LabVIEW Speak platform

Features:

•  Automatically converts a QD plugin to RCF or LVS plugin format
•  Warns the user if repetitive commands are installed.
•  Provides an instruction as user clicks help button.
•  Helps the user navigate to the plugin folders (LVS, QD and RCF)
•  Modifying the functionality in Quick Drop VI will automatically update the functionality in Right Click Framework or LabVIEW Speak

Please let me know if you have any questions. Suggestions and comments are welcome 

Note: RCF and LVS only update their lists of commands at startup. If you use the RCF LVS Conversion Toolkit when RCF and LVS are open, please restart these platforms.

Has your stressful day at work got you down?  Want to take a load off and relax with a game?  Why not a LabVIEW game?  Here is a game I made a while ago and forgot about.  It is called Traffic Jam similar to this, or this one called Rush Hour.  The basic goal of the game is to get the red car out of the parking lot, by moving the other cars.  Cars can only move in one direction and can't turn.

My coding style has improved over the years, but I'm not yet ashamed of the work I did on it.  It was fun working with the picture control and generating the UI based on the level files.

This game comes with 122 levels.  Why 122?  Because I forgot to put in the last 18.  Feel free to add them yourself by editing the Set text files.

This game also keeps track of your high score, so you can try to go back and do it in less moves.

Name: Triple buffer

Submitter: CharlesB

Submitted: 21 Oct 2014

Category: *Uncertified*

LabVIEW Version: 2011

License Type: BSD (Most common)

(initial discussion, with other implementations here)

In the need for displaying large images at a high performance, I wanted to use triple buffering in my program. This type of acquisition allows to acquire large data in buffers, and have it used without copying images back and forth between producer and consumer.

This way consumer thread doesn't wait if a buffer is ready, and producer works at max speed because it never waits or copy any data.

If the consumer makes the request when a buffer is ready, it is atomically turned into a "lock" state. If a buffer isn't ready, it waits for it, atomically lock it when it is ready.

This class allows to have a producer loop running at its own rate, independently from the consumer. It is useful in the case of a fast producer faster than the consumer, where the consumer doesn't need to process all the data (like a display).

How to use

Buffers are provided at initialization, through refnums. They can be DVRs, or IMAQ refnums, or any pointer to some memory area.

Once initialized, consumer gets the refnums with "get latest or wait". The refnum given is locked and guaranteed to stay uncorrupted from the producer loop. If new data has been produced between two consumer calls, the call doesn't wait for new data, and returns the latest one. If not, it waits for the next data.

At each producer iteration, producer starts with a "reserve data", which returns the refnum in which to fill. Once data is ready, it calls "reserved data is ready". These two calls never wait, so producer is always running at a fastest pace.

Implementation details

A condition variable is shared between producer and consumer. This variable is a cluster holding indexes "locked", "grabbing", and "ready". The condition variable has a mechanism that allows to acquire mutex access to the cluster, and atomically release it and wait. When the variable is signaled by the producer, the mutex is re-acquired by the consumer. This guarantees that the consumer that the variable isn't accessed by producer between end of consumer wait and lock by consumer.

"easy increment" selects individual decimal place values by moving the mouse across the spacial extent of a numerical control. Mouse wheel scrolling may then be used to to modify these values.

The attached library provides extensions to the Actor Framework to facilitate the broadcast of messages from one actor to several others. Listeners subscribe to a message when they want to receive it from the Broadcaster, and they unsubscribe when they want to stop receiving it. The library provides a set of common interfaces that decouple Broadcasters from Listeners so any two actors in a messaging hierarchy can communicate via broadcast without having the same caller.

This library extends the Actor Framework; it does not modify the core framework in any way, so it may be used in existing projects as well as new ones.

Note:

Due to the nature of this package it does not contain source code (it will not run as source code). For those interested in obtaining the source code for their own builds please contact me via PM and I will point you to the location of a public mercurial repository.

Description:

LVMergeHG will enable users to perform multiple file merges with Mercurial either directly or through a client like TortoiseHG.

It is configured as an external merge program for LabVIEW files that can be merged with LabVIEW's built in merge tool (LVMerge).

Features:

1. Mercurial waits for an external merge program to exit before it will continue to the next merge item. LVMerge exits and launches a separate merge utility before a merge is completed. LVMergeHG acts as a buffer between Mercurial and LVMerge and waits until the LabVIEW merge is complete before it closes.

2. Mercurial downloads merge files in directories other then the target directory. LVMergeHG moves the temporary files into the target directory and removes them when finished. Note: This feature may not be needed if separating compiled code from source in LabVIEW.

3. LVMerge does not handle a two way merge automatically. LVMergeHG asks the user to pick which version (mine or theirs) to use as a base version and uses the selected items when calling LVMerge.

4. LVMerge does not auto select the version of LabVIEW to use for merging the vi's selected. LVMergeHG tells LVMerge which version to use based on the version used to last save the vi.

If the exact version is not found LVMergeHG will find the next highest version of LabVIEW to use. ***See caveat 4 below.

Requirements:

1. LVMergeHG uses LVMerge so a LabVIEW license that supports LVMerge is required (LabVIEW Professional Development System and above).

Recommendations:

1. Install Mercurial first. LVMerge installation will try to configure LVMergeHG's settings on installation, but it can be reconfigured at any time using ConfigureLVMergeHG.

2. Set VI settings to remove compiled code from source. LabVIEW won't require sub vi's to be present at the time of merging when this is set (no search windows).

Caveats:

1. LVMergeHG does not override some of Mercurial's automatic merge decisions.

For example:

You have a vi in one branch that hasn't changed since the base and you deleted it in another branch.

You merge the two branches and Mercurial will assume you want to delete the file without asking because that is the only change.

LVMergeHG sets the premerge configuration to false, although this doesn't seem to effect this merge decision.

Solution is still in development.

2. LVMergeHG is only supported on Windows Operating systems (XP, VISTA, Windows7).

3. LVMergeHG has only been tested with LV2010 although it will most likely work in other versions.

4. LVMergeHG tries to set the version of LabVIEW that LVMerge will use based on the version read from the vi.

However if two versions of LabVIEW are open LVMerge doesn't seem to load the compare in the correct version.

It is safest to only have the version of LabVIEW open that you want to use or not have any version of LabVIEW open.

lavag_lib_User_Interface_XControls_Toolbar XControl v1.0.0.3 by University of Leeds

Author: Gavin Burnell

Copyright: Copyright © 2013, University of Leeds

License: BSD

Compatible LabVIEW Versions: >= 2012.

Compatible OS Versions: ALL.

Description:

This is a native toolbar for LabVIEW implemented as an XControl. It supports a single row of square buttons which maybe latching (sticky) or transitory (command) style buttons drawn in one of 4 different styles (system, square, flat or rounded). The toolbar will report button clicks via a value change event, but allows the possibility for further integration into other messaging systems.

The buttons are represented as instances of a button base class that provides methods for drawing the button, updating tooltip text or responding to clicks. Overriding these methods in subclasses allows a greate flexibility of response. Included in the package is a 'vi-button' class that stores a vi reference with each button and executes it when clicked.

This Package depends on these other packages:

This is the official release of my LV State Machine template; the TLB - Top-Level Baseline. It was presented at the State Machine vs. State Machine presentation at NI Week 2010.

This is worth using because it implements most of the common functionality that you end up creating w/ most / all LV state machines anyway:

• Error handling
• Idle cases
• Interactive event driven execution
• Shutting down parallel loops gracefully
• String based queued states
• Handling the Panel Close? event

Some techniques used are not immediately intuitive, but each design decision was made with the idea of scalability and ease of use in mind.

Please post your 'Why did you do that?' questions and I'll gladly inform and instruct why the design choices were made (including why did I use colors)

Description:

The Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) provide the Data Link Properties dialog box as the common user interface for specifying connection information to a data provider on Windows 2000 and later operating systems.

You can use the Data Link Properties dialog box to save connection information in a universal data link (.udl) file.

Universal data link files (or '.udl files') provide a common user interface for specifying connection attributes.

A user can use a Data Link Properties dialog box to save connection information in a .udl file as an alternative to directly specifying them by hand in a connection string.

Consequently, these files provide a convenient level of indirection.

Additionally, the dialog box specifies a number of alternate OLE DB data providers for a variety of target applications

This example is used to generate UDL File. This file is used to connect SQL database.

Installation and instructions:

1. Run Create UDl_SQL. VI

2. Enter Database server name and password

3. Enter Database name and click OK button.

Then it will try to connect database using entered information

LabVIEW Version: 2009

License Type: BSD (Most common)

This is a submission for the GPower toolsets palette, which will also shortly be available on the NI LabVIEW Tools Network. I submit it to Lava to (of course) share it with everyone, but also to establish an open forum to discuss improvements and to provide support. Much better than hiding all this in private email conversations with each user.

The toolsets are compiled for LV2009 SP1, are provided as VIPs for VIPM, and will mass compile to at least LV2010 and LV 2011 without problems (this happens automagically during the VIP-install process for those of you that don't know VI Package Manager ). The 'gpower_lib_toolsets-1.0.0.6.vip' is an umbrella for the four other VIPs, it doesn't add anything extra by itself.

Currently this consists of 4 toolsets:

Dynamic Dispatch

Open, pass data to (without using the front panel), run, and close dynamic VIs. A cumbersome process using VI Server made easy with this toolset.

Error

Streamline common error wire tasks such as set, filter and clear errors and warnings, and unbundle the error cluster. Adds advanced features such as dynamic setting of custom global errors, that you can invoke from anywhere in your application, and bundling errors into a single error wire. No more need for arrays of error clusters!

Timing

Calculate elapsed and remaining time, and abort a running Wait function for instance.

VIRegister

High performance "global variables" that lets you pass data between any corners of your application. It's based on queues, so a "global" that does not involve using front panel controls, files, or the LV project - it all happens in the block diagram. In most cases you don't even have to pass a refnum around, just drop a VIRegister somewhere and you're done.

If this thread generates too much noise across the different toolsets, we could split this into 4 submissions. But lets see how it goes. More toolsets are awaiting release, but I'll start with these four to get a feel for the process.

Cheers,

Steen

License Type: BSD (Most common)

This class adds a special version for the HTML-report generation VIs.

By using this class you can use the normal report generation functions, however images will be embedded in the HTML file inside the <IMG> tag.

This tool adds a special override class for the Report Generation toolkit. With this class come 3 overrides for the following functions:

• Append Control Image to report
  
• Append Image to report (path)
  
• Append Image to report (string)
  

These functions allow you to embed the added image into the HTML IMG tag. With this functionality it's possible to generate HTML reports that can be shipped without depending on a file-layout or web-server.

The included DEMO VI shows you how to use this class (only the initiate function is required), and loads a sample file into your default web-browser.

This tool shows absolutely the power of LVOOP programming, in 1 hour I made a inherited class that overrode 3 VIs and thus created new functionality!

I hope you like it, if you have more ideas for improvement please let me know!

This JKI RCF Plugin sets the Visible Frame property of a Case Structure while the owning VI is running. Use it to follow the execution through the cases in your string-based State Machine/Sequencer when Execution Highlighting isn't fast enough (and, it's never fast enough).

The use-case I wrote this to improve is setting a Breakpoint on the Error wire coming out of the main Case Structure and probing the Case Selector terminal so I can float-probe wires during execution. The problem with this is that I had to manually select the current frame every time. This is boring, so I developed this plugin to automatically set the Visible Frame to the case most recently executed.

Use - Select the String wire connected to the main Case Structure's selector terminal, invoke the JKI RCF and select StateFollower.

Special thanks to - AristosQueue, for his help over here.

LabVIEW versions - tested in 2009 & 2011 - it should work in 2010 as well

Some Details of functions provided

=================================

Supports Windows only, though most of the Cleartool commands and options are the same on Unix

Assumes default instilation of ClearCase working with Dynamic Views

If ClearCase is NOT installed in default location then you can manually alter install location in ClearToolPath.vi

Two types of methods

1) VI using ClearCase Cleartool command line all named *_ct.vi

2) VI using the ClearCase Automation Library (CAL) all named *_cal.vi

No interface currently provided for UCM ClearCase operations

Add.vi

========

This VI will add an element or directory to Clearcase ie create a new ClearCase Object.

NOTES

1 The Parent Object (directory) must be a ClearCase Object

2 The Parent object will automatcially be checkedout if it is not already checkedout

3 By default both the parent dir and the added object will be left checkedout

4 If adding a file, the file must already exist

5 If adding a directory , the directory must NOT exist, remember to set Directoy? to true

A creation comment can be added Comment.

Copyright 2011 - Danny Thomson

No waranty included

BranchInfo.vi

=============

This Vi checks if the Branch Name passed in exists in the VOB specified by a Valid VOB Object and if it does it will return the following information.

branch exist? true / false

locked state? True (locked) False (unlocked)

branch description Branch creation comment

obsloete? True (locked & obsolete) false (just locked)

Note only the supplied VOB is checked branch could exist in other VOBs

uses Cleartool command describe -type brtype with formating options

CheckIn.vi

====================

This VI will attempt to checkoutin a ClearCase Object (file or folder).

uses ClearTool --- uncheck/out | unco [ –kee/p | –rm ] { –cact [ pname ... ] | pname ... }

–kee/p

Preserves the contents of the checked-out version under a file-name of the form element-name.keep (or, to prevent name collisions, element-name.keep.1, element-name.keep.2, and so on).

–rm

Does not preserve the contents of the checked-out version. Thus, any edits that had been made to the checked-out version are lost.

NOTE. Error -2904 if files in not checked out

Copyright 2011 - Danny Thomson

No waranty included

CheckOut.vi

=================

This VI will attempt to checkout a ClearCase object (FIle or Folder).

INPUTS

----------

FileName & Path itme to be checked out can be file or floder

Checkout comment A checkout comment

checkout Type see below

CC Branch A optional branch to checkout on e.g \main \main\dev\ats\111 see below

uses ClearTool

[ –c/omment comment | –cfi/le comment-file-pname | –cq/uery | –cqe/ach

| –nc/omment ][ –q/uery | –nq/uery |–use/hijack ] pname ...

–res/erved

Reserves the branch: no user in another view can perform a reserved checkout of the same branch (but any number of unreserved checkouts can be performed); no new versions can be created on the branch until your checkout is changed to unreserved with unreserve or resolved with checkin or uncheckout. If you specify both –reserved and –unreserved, this command performs a reserved checkout if possible; otherwise, an unreserved checkout.

–unr/eserved [ –nma/ster ]

Leaves the branch unreserved; other users, in other views, can check out the same version (but at most one of the checkouts can be reserved).

CC BRANCH

Default - blank. View Config specifications rules will be applied.

This allows a specific branch to be used to be used to checkout the file. NOTE branch must in this case MUST be the full branch path ie \main\dev-ats-456 not the branch type dev-ats-456. If CC Branch is used the CC warning messages are suppresed as they WILL occurs, but do not indicated we have have a problem, the branch used MUST EXISTS for the objects being checked out

Scripting Sandbox RCF Plugin

Copyright © 20010, Wojciech Golebiowski (vugie)

Author: Wojciech Golebiowski (w_golebiowski (at) tlen [dot] pl)

Name: Scripting Sandbox

Type: Right Click Framework Plugin

LabVIEW version: 8.2

Description

Scripting Sandbox is a simple Right-Click-Framework plugin for quick creating and using of flexible scripting VI's without implementing additional RCF plugin. In other words it's a plugin for making plugins which you don't want to distribute, but rather to use internally for work automation in quick and dirty way without any error handling etc. You simply define a directory for storing so called SandScript VIs. RCF menu is being updated according to the content of this directory. SandScript VI has to follow provided template. When you invoke certain script, RCF simply passes whole current "Active VI" cluster to it (VI state, panel and diagram references, array with selected objects and mouse position)

Installation

Preferably use VIP package and VI Package Manager. Alternatively download ZIP, extract to \resource\JKI\RCF\Plugins\ and restart RCF

Examples

Few example SandScript VIs are included in Scripts subdirectory. To see them working, copy them to your scripts directory (defined within RCF plugin options)

Support

If you have any problems with this code or want to suggest features:

please go to lavag.org and Navigate to LAVA > Resources > Code Repository (Certified) and

search for the "Scripting Sandbox" support page.

These XNodes wrap the OpenG Variant Config routines so that clusters are automagically returned as themselves rather than as variants. The XNodes simply call the OpenG routines, as I didn't want to have to worry about handling (or rewriting) the reentrant algorithm used.

XNodes are provided for Read/Write INI Cluster, Read/Write Section Cluster, and Read/Write Key, and should work as direct replacements.

Many thanks to Gavin Burnell for his extremely helpful toolkit, and his release of Array XNodes which provided the inspiration for trying my first XNodes. I also use a modified version of the XNode Manager by Aitor Solar to create the initial XNodes.

All the usual caveats apply when using XNodes - i.e. don't, unless you know what you're doing, or don't care what happens!

Dependencies:

oglib_variantconfig >= 2.7-2

Just an alternative to the in-built "Trim whitespace.vi" function but much faster (3x?).

It's not a direct replacement (although it could be) since it does not allow left and right trim separately. But it does allow trimming of all non-printable characters as well as whitespace if required (default is just whitepace).

It's an offshoot from one of my projects that I thought may be of interest to the speed freaks out there.

LabVIEW Versions:

2009

Dependencies:

None

Description:

This class is used to generate a single summary document for any folder containing LabVIEW elements (controls, VIs, projects, classes, or libraries (lvlib)). It recursively traverses the folder structure and reads the documentation from all VIs (including custom controls) and the documentation attached to all front panel controls. The class uses that information to build a document in HTML, RTF (rich text), or plain text (ASCII) formats.

HTML is the preferred format, since this is the only format that includes lvclass descriptions and also supports the creation of a hyperlinked table of contents (TOC).

The user can choose to

- use short or long formats - the long format includes the descriptions on all front panel controls

- Include or exclude custom controls from the document

- Include or exclude private members of a class or library

- Include or exclude protected members of a class or library

One might choose to exclude private and protected members if the intention is to create an API document for the class or library

- enable or disable a dialog that warns that an existing html file is about to be replaced by the Document Generator

Installation and instructions:

Unzip and open the Document Generator.lvclass

Examples:

The UI.vi is an interactive interface for creating documents. The Generate.vi provides an API if the user wants to programatically call this utility. They can be found in the Public->Methods virtual folder.

Known Issues:

Any documentation read from the source elements (VIs, controls, projects, etc.) is treated as pure text. There is currently no provision for escaping characters that might be interpreted as control characters in HTML.

Icon Editor API Repack Extended.

The original Icon Editor API has been recompiled to User.lib. This code makes calls to v.i's/.ctl's in the Icon Editor plugin directory which is not of a symbolic path. This may lead to linking issues and therefore the API was extended to accommondate this.

The Icon Editor API has been extended to provide additional functions such as Class Library Refnum wrappers, Global Stores and helper VIs.

See http://decibel.ni.co...t/docs/DOC-8647 for the source code of the Icon Editor API. Code snapshot taken as of 15/05/10. Note: This original Icon Editor API code be updated by NI in the future.

This is a toolkit to convert a state diagram designed with the editor dia into a LabVIEW state machine.

Warning: This uses Scripting: So be aware of dragons, black holes, rusty nails and other monsters. I've only tested it in LV 7.1., got a crash every 2 hours... Bugs and workarounds in newer LV versions welcomed.

Crashes in 8.5. Found the CAR (# 4CJFKTCS)). Edit: Fixed in V 1.0.1

Basic Operation

***************

Create an uml Chart in Dia (it is OpenSource too).

Compile it into a LabVIEW state machine (this will generate an enum based state machine with .vi and States.ctl for the TypeDefed Enum).

Code the States.

Getting started

***************

* You will need to have several OpenG packages installed. Dependencies: appcontrol, file, variantconfig. In order to install these, you need to get the VI package manager from:

http://jkisoft.com/vipm/download/

* For users of LV 7.x you need to get the TRefTraverse.llb from NI:

http://decibel.ni.co...t/docs/DOC-5091

From 8.0 onward they are located under vi.lib\utility

Propably you need to fix the linking from the main vi

* You will need to download Dia:

http://live.gnome.org/Dia

Customizing

***********

* In the Folder LV Scripting you will find the template 'State Machine Prototype Template.vit'. You can modify this within limits to change the state machine that will be generated.

* There is a lot of Documentation with the Code: Check out the documentation folder with the 'Tree VIs' and the uml diagrams (they are surprisingly also made with dia)

* If you have questions, ideas or found a bug, please do not hesitate to contact me! You can do so via PM on LavaG or via my private email on the BD of the About.vi

V 1.0.1:

* Fixed a bug in error handling (Error Handler Close.vi)

* Workaround for the 8.5 crash

* Support for changed Name of CaseSelect

* Started to add support for StarUML

Happy New Year

LAVA name: jcarmody

Contact Info: Contact via PM on www.lavag.org

LabVIEW version:

Created and tested with LabVIEW 8.2

Dependencies:

JKI Right-Click Framework

LabVIEW 8.2 or higher

Description:

The Code Capture Tool 2.0 can create a VI snippet in LV versions as old as 7.0; this plugin lets you extract them in versions 8.2 and above. Standard conditions apply - you won't be able to extract a snippet that was created in a newer version of LabVIEW.

Instructions:

Extract the zip file into [LabVIEW]\Resource\JKI\RCF\Plugins\GetSnippet and restart the RCF framework. Once installed, select a snippet, activate the RCF and select GetSnippet and your decoration will be replaced by the underlying code.

Known Issues:

Hardly anybody makes snippets in anything except LabVIEW 2009. The program works fine, though.

Acknowledgements:

Ton Plomp and Yair gave us the Code Capture Tool, without which there would be no need to extract snippets in LabVIEW < 2009.

Darin.K showed me how to get a VI from a snippet. Ton helped me improve my implementation.

Furthermore we set up a web server for this chat. So you can use the default login for login into the web chat.

The aim of this project is to show what Publish/Subscribe Design Pattern can do. You can use this pattern in your projects to communicate between undependent and dynamicaly started programms (or VIs) on different computers.

Of course you can change and redesign your client as you want I uploaded only the base version of them.
